December 16, 2008: Roadside bombs
continue to be a major menace in some parts of Iraq. Each week, 90 or so of
these devices are discovered, about half of them are discovered before they go
off. Most are used against Iraqi troops or civilians (usually specific
individuals someone is trying to murder). Five or six times a week, U.S. troops
get hit by a roadside bomb. American forces are better trained to spot these
bombs before they can detonate, or prevent them from going off because of the
electronic jammers most U.S. convoys carry.

Since the Summer, Iranian made EFPs (a
high tech, armor piercing roadside bomb) have been encountered far less. The 70
percent decline in EFP use is partly because U.S. and Iraqi forces have
captured many of the Shia terrorists who use them, along with large stockpiles
of EFPs. But captured Shia radicals also indicate that Iran has cut back on
their support for Iraqi terrorists. Part of this is due to Iraqi diplomacy, and
months of pressure on the Iranian government to cut off support for pro-Iranian
Shia groups in Iraq. Another reason is Iranian internal politics, which is
backing away from the support of terrorism, at least in Iraq. Right now Iran
sees better opportunities in Lebanon (Hezbollah) and Gaza (Hamas). Iran still
provides advice, cash and diplomatic support to pro-Iranian political parties
in Iraq, and still wants to turn the country into a religious dictatorship. But
the Iranians have noted that most Iraqis are, at the moment, opposed to this
idea. So the Iranians will wait for a more propitious time.

While Shia terrorists have calmed down
somewhat, because of the decline in Iranian support, there are still several
Sunni terrorist gangs operating. Some appear to be more criminal than
religious. Many of the roadside bomb attacks are directed at the Iraqi police,
in what appears to be an attempt to get the cops to back off interfering with
gang activities. The guys making the bombs for the gangs, used to do it for the
Islamic terrorists. The roadside bombs were always something of a mercenary
business, with most of the work being done for pay. It became too dangerous to
go after the Americans, but the Iraqi police are another matter, especially if
you are working for a bunch of gangsters who are simply trying to make a buck
(and not take over the country.) But to the foreign media, all the bombings are
still largely defined as "insurgents" or "terrorists." As a
matter of fact, most bombings, worldwide, are carried out by common criminals,
usually as part of an extortion scam, or a gang war.

It just shows that Iran wants to make a nuclear bomb, they don?t want to give America a reason to attack them before they make a nuclear bomb.

Iran is has stoped sending roadside bombs to Iraq because they want to make a nuclear bomb, they only attack & supplied the terrorist people to hope America would pull out there troops from Iraq where America could attack them easy, supply weapons to the terrorist let the American public see the deaths, then the public will say get out for real, then there is a 50% less chance that America will bomb there nuclear plant , but now there is no way America will pull out with the massive turn around in Iraq, so now its stoped attacking them to hope they don?t attack.

Iran will threaten America more & more but will stop suppling the terrorist with IEDs, just like north Korea, they said the same thing , they threatened them will war & said they where not going to make a nuclear bomb, but they did,,,,, if you don?t threatened then they will attack, if you threatened them for some reason, they don?t attack .

If America does not attack them & lets them get a nuclear bomb, you will 100% see heat seeking rockets in Afghanistan & Iraq, to shoot down all there helicopters & unmanned planes , then you will see the terrorist in Lebanon / all around there, start to go all out with massive weapons from Iran, with iran army helping them take the land..
